Norwich signs midfielder Leroy Fer from FC Twente

NORWICH, England — Norwich has signed Netherlands midfielder Leroy Fer from Dutch club FC Twente on a four-year deal.

Fer joined for an undisclosed fee on Saturday to become manager Chris Hughton's sixth offseason signing.

Hughton says Fer is "a very versatile Dutch international and at 23 he has that pleasing balance of having acquired experience playing over 100 games in the Dutch League, but still having plenty of time ahead of him to continue his development."
